Creating a Fad with “Dawn of the Dead”

I figured that since I discussed the cinematic importance of Night of the Living Dead recently, might as well keep going and discuss why Dawn of the Dead is such a big deal. It’s important to the horror genre but in in the same way NotLD was. I love Dawn of the Dead (both Romero’s version and Argento’s Zombi cut) and it has legions of fangs. However I’m not quite a fan of the legacy it’s left behind.
